In 1993, Tate acquired a large body of archive material from Naum Gabo’s family. In 2007 the family made a further generous gift of material of a more personal nature, to complement the main archive. The gift includes a small group of models, constructions and other objects; the extraordinary ‘Constructivist ballet‘, which he made for his daughter Nina; love letters from Gabo to his wife Miriam; and typescripts of two unpublished speeches. In 2007 the Tate Archive was also very grateful to be awarded an Archival Grant by the Getty Foundation to catalogue all our Gabo holdings.
